Human First: Building Projects That Matter
Join us for a full day conference at The Bristol Hotel, right on Bristol’s iconic Harbourside. This conference is designed to showcase the fantastic projects happening around the Southwest, focusing on the positive impact project professionals and organisations can have within their local communities. The day gives a chance to be inspired by innovative project management styles, as well as exploring the importance of social value and human-centred aspects of project delivery.
The primary goal of the conference is to promote the Project Management profession by fostering interaction among project practitioners, APM Corporate members, current project management students, academia, and all those with an interest in projects.
We aim to inspire attendees to review the social impact of their projects and practice and be inspired by some of the great examples of project management, projects and local improvements that the Southwest has to offer. The day will also provide many opportunities to expand your professional network and learn from current practitioners across a wide range of projects.
We'd like to express our thanks to our sponsors and exhibitors for their support.
